Campus Infested With Nomads; Restless Arabs Change Resting Place Not Less Than Six Times
The lives of the campus have been far. Homeless, they wander
me to comfort in a mourn
pe to open a permanent resting place. Arabs, indeed, are the members of the elements of advertising class.
Six times the class has changed its meeting place and the energies of two instructors have been exhausted by the wanderings. Gallantly did Prof. W. A. Dill lead the class in four of the changes, only to be relieved by Instructor Alfred Graves, the grey-hound advertising solicitor.
The first abode was in room 102 of the journalism building. Other classes desired that room so the youthful journalists moved to the journalism library. Lack of sufficient room, cold weather and general intolerance led to a move to Green hall, where the class rested for one week in peace.
Here, however, a conflict with a one-hour law course occurred and the advertising class was forced to retreat to the law court room each Friday. Unhady junior benches, in some instances, hindered the taking of legal notes.

mediately. By carefully searching in the nooks and corners of the campus, Professor Dill had succeeded in finding a vacant room on the third floor of Administration building. In this cold, dark and dreary room, the professor lost his last assault. Dermer windows, which refused to stay closed and the increasingly lower temperature of the surroundings proved too harsh for him. With a physician's ability,—the loss of "variety" in that familiar laugh, he glially gave the leadership to Instructor Graves.
In the meantime, the one-hour law course had been finished. Mr. Graves then took the class back to Green hall. He has stood the strain thus far, but it is foured even he is beginning to for the other morning he arrived the first minute like. This may be the sign of an approaching collapse.
It is reported, however, that Professor Dill has recuperated and blossomed forth with a new hair cut. Moreover, it is said, the old variety of his laugh has returned. If Mr. Graves weakens, he is ready, he says to lend the class in its search for a permanent home.
About twenty faculty members of the University met yesterday afternoon in the office of the man's student adviser. The policy and work of the University Y.M.C.A, a were discussed. The university gave a brief report of the work that was being done and the work that was to be done.

Next Session Will Provide Supervision of Radio and Waterways Project
Washington, Dec. 3. —The session of congress opening Monday will provide a new supervision for radio broadcasting, attempt to straighten the $270,000,000 alien property tangle, do something about the government's water management, adopt a $100,000,000 scheme for development of rivers and harbors.

Coolidge Advocates White Bill
President Coolidge is understood to have threw his support to the White radio measure which would establish the commerce department as a court of supervision over all radio matters. The white bill would not coerce the elected commissioner to cooperate with the White bill篡盗的 of the senate who favor a separate government burrow for radio control.
The two factions will meet as soon as congress reconvenes. A bill is being signed by Representative White to ensure until a compromise is reached.
Republican and Democratic leaders on the house side have agreed upon a compromise measure whereby the $270,000,000 of German ally property seized during the war may be liquidated in a bond issue which would cover a collection of $190,000,000 owned American citizens for war claims.
Muscle Shoals Comes Up
Chairman Deneenne of the special congressional commission which investigated proposals to lease Muscle Shoals, the big $7 billion city on the Territory's sewer river by the government during the war, is returning today to consult leaders about chances of adoption of his committee proposal to lease the project to consolidated southern power companies.

To prevent such a development Bloom would rather which would control what its name implies, and have direct charge of radio and aviation.
A unanimous consent agreement are ready reached in the senate assured action on the pending bill for appropriations of $100,000,000 to improve rivers and harbors of the United States.
The first holiday spirit of the year was manifest last night in the crowds that attended the formal opening of the Christmas season in Lawrence. Vivid window displays, colored lights and highly decorated Christmas trees gave to Massachusetts the fitting aspect of the season. Santa Claus, true to form, paraded the streets with his usual retinue of faithful followers. Inside the museum, unlookers declared the Christmas Saint will have need of extra packs when he makes his midnight call in Lawrence Dec. 25.

"Old Glory" Replaces Weather Flags and Other Banners Which Once Adorned Fraser Flag Pole
Flags have come and flags have gone, but Old Glory rests on Fraser after the storm.
It was back in the "dark ages" of the University that authorities thought the paramount thing for students to know, was the weather conditions. Thus, from the highest point on Mount Oread weather flags were hung. A white flag stood for fair weather; a blue flag for stormy weather; a half blue and an orange flag; a white triangle indicated a rising temperature, and a blue triangle foretold a lowering temperature.
With the wear and tear on the custodian who changed the flags to correspond with Kansas weather, the coming of the yellow slickers, P. Conner and the World War, the weather flags were discontinued.
Then, there was the Chancellor's flag, a pennant, six to ten feet long. Old Timmers will remember this flag, especially during registration week.
Again, there was the football banner, 16 feet in length, which was placed on the Fraser flag pole before a game. The players then when championship teams inhabited

Seniors to Elect Officers of Class Thursday, Dec.9
Men's Student Council and
W. S. G. A. Authorize
New Election
Date
Names of Voters Omitted
It was decided by the council that the student body was not interrupted in the election, and that the general political situation was out of favor.
Senior class officers will be elected at a meeting of all seniors Thursday, Dec. 9, at 7:30 p. m., in Fraser hall. This election has been authorized by the Men's Student Council and the W. S. G. A. to fill the vacancies left by the abolition of the fall elections. The annual elections were given up this year by the Men's Student Council. In the next night, following a series of election difficulties which has hampered the choosing of class officers.
The first difficulty in the situation appeared Oct. 14, the date originally set for the election, when, after balleting had been going on for three hours, it was found that about eight hundred inmates removed from the courtroom, a qualified voter, was posponed until revised lists could be prepared.
Two days before the next election day, seven football men, candidates for class office withdraw their names from the party tickets, following a public criticism by Chancellor Lindley about interference of politics in athletics.
This disrupted the tickets of the two parties so that the council found it necessary to postpone the election and correct the nomination of the football season.
Election Postponed
Recently the athletic department demanded that they unfairly all members of athletic teams refrain from participation in campus politics.
The four class officers, president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer will be chosen at the senior meeting.
Dances managers for other classes will be elected by mass meetings of the various classes to be announced later.
Directory Is Accurate
Numbers of Student Checked With Addresses Given
The student directory this year will be more accurate than in previous years, according to George O. Foster, registrar. Special efforts have been made to make late notifications of addresses have all been included in the directory.
An expended carried out this year to insure the accuracy of telephone numbers was a check-up of all numbers as given in by the students with a specially appointed representative of the Lawrence telephone office. One of the assistants in Mr. Foster's office checked the telephone office checking the numbers against the street addresses. If there are any errors in the telephone numbers it will be because the students gave incorrect street addresses.
The completed directory will be greeted with as much joy by the force in the registrar's office as by the students. There has been a great number of addresses at the registrar's office for addresses and telephone numbers of students.
Speakers Are Selected for Manhattan Contest
